Agreed completely. Complete Pascal is really the best IDE for the GS.
Personally I think it is better, more stable and easier to use than
Orca/Pascal (which seems to design more to mimic Mac UI and ignore the
fact that GS has 320 and 640 modes). The simplicity of just Apple-M
and run a full screen app is what amazed me and my son.

I am going to do a video recording of Complete Pascal soon.
